Former adult film actor Ron Jeremy declared incompetent to stand trial later this month on rape charges after mental health experts have determined he is suffering from “severe dementia.” https://twitter.com/latimes/status/1611486473261572097 From the Los Angeles Times:

Jeremy — whose legal name is Ronald Hyatt — was first charged in June 2020 with raping four women he had met in West Hollywood bars and clubs.

The case quickly ballooned, as dozens of women came forward claiming the onetime porn king had been abusing women for decades at parties and adult film conventions or on movie sets.
